Vancouver, BC – August 25, 2025 – TheNewswire - Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY)(OTCQB: WDGRF) (“Wedgemount” or the “Company”), today announces that the Company is unable to make the semi-annual interest payment scheduled for August 25, 2025 on CAD$2.45 million outstanding, 10% Unsecured Convertible Debentures maturing in 2028 (the “Debentures”).
The missed interest payment totalling CAD$122,500 is the result of unexpected liquidity constraints resulting from a shutdown of third-party gas gathering facilities in Wedgemount’s core area and slower than anticipated growth in production at the Huggy leases, which together negatively impacted revenues.
“On behalf of everyone at the company we regret the missed payment and understand the concerns of our Debenture holders,” said Mark Vanry, CEO of Wedgemount. “The unforeseen emergency gas pipeline shutdowns at third-party operated facilities unfortunately forced the Company to shut-in both oil and gas production as gas from over 50% the Company’s oil wells could no longer be vented.”
The Company has contacted each Debenture holder to address to advise them of the situation. The failure to pay interest under the debentures is considered an event of default under the terms of the Debentures. The Company has not received notice of default from any Debenture holder. Wedgemount will provide an update on any resolution with Debenture holders, and the return of production, as more information becomes available.
